Macron Is Doing Merkel’s Dirty Work With Russia Over Syria

French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement yesterday changes the game in Syria.

Until yesterday France had been the most vocal supporter of U.S. regime change policy in Syria. Now it is its most pragmatic critic.

This signifies a multitude of changes geopolitically.

First, it dovetails with German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s statement that the EU should no longer consider the U.S. a reliable partner in foreign affairs. The EU will, indeed, pursue a more independent foreign policy.
